ABA: Argumentation based agents
(2012)Many works have identified the potential benefits of using argumentation in multiagent settings, as a way to implement the capabilities of agents (eg. decision making, communication, negotiation) when confronted with ...

The airplace indoor positioning platform for Android smartphones
(2012)In this demonstration paper, we present an indoor positioning system developed for Android smartphones, coined Airplace. To infer the unknown user location we rely on ubiquitous WLANs and exploit Received Signal Strength ...

Algorithmic mechanisms for reliable master-worker internet-based computing
(2014)We consider Internet-based master-worker computations, where a master processor assigns, across the Internet, a computational task to a set of untrusted worker processors, and collects their responses. Examples of such ...

Applying swarm intelligence to a novel congestion control approach for wireless sensor networks
(2011)Recently, sensor networks have attracted significant research interest. However, most studies have mainly focused on protocols for applications in which network performance assurances are not considered essential. With the ...

Asynchronous coordination of distributed energy resources for the provisioning of ancillary services
(2011)This paper analyzes the stability of asynchronous coordination protocols and studies their application to energy resource provisioning of ancillary services in power grids. First, we consider and analyze a protocol that ...

CBL tools require the change of learning processes and their environment
(Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)Computer Based Learning (CBL) represents one of the terms for implementation of information & communication technologies (ICT) in education and learning. ICT enable changes of the education processes. They cannot be realized ...

Conceptualizing the mediating role of power asymmetries in research communication: A social representations approach
(2014)While the issue of power within the research relationship has been evoking constructive discussions for over two decades in qualitative research, existing approaches fail to understand power both as macro-socially determined ...

Cooperative computing with fragmentable and mergeable groups
(2003)This work considers the problem of performing a set of N tasks on a set of P cooperating message-passing processors (P ≤ N). The processors use a group communication service (GCS) to coordinate their activity in the setting ...

Developing an effective social presence system for older adults: The Connected Vitality Network
(2013)Communication over distance via the use of communication technologies aims to offer and enable contact for older adults, who are typically restricted in terms of mobility and tend to suffer from loneliness due to the lack ...

Distributed balancing of a digraph with integer weights
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2013)We address the integer weight-balancing problem for a distributed system whose components (nodes) can exchange information via interconnection links (edges) that form an arbitrary, possibly directed, communication topology ...

Distributed network size estimation and average degree estimation and control in networks isomorphic to directed graphs
(2012)Many properties of interest in graph structures are based on the nodes' average degree (i.e., the average number of edges incident to/from each node). In this work, we present asynchronous distributed algorithms, based on ...

Distributed stopping in average consensus via event-triggered strategies
(IEEE Computer Society, 2013)We develop and analyze a distributed event-triggered linear iterative algorithm that enables the components of a distributed system, each with some initial value, to reach approximate average consensus on their initial ...

Distributed strategies for balancing a weighted digraph
(2012)A weighted digraph is balanced if, for each node, the sum of the weights of the edges outgoing from that node is equal to the sum of the weights of the edges incoming to that node. Weight-balanced digraphs play a key role ...

Fault-tolerant semifast implementations of atomic read/write registers
(2009)This paper investigates time-efficient implementations of atomic read-write registers in message-passing systems where the number of readers can be unbounded. In particular we study the case of a single writer, multiple ...

Fuzzy explicit marking for congestion control in differentiated services networks
(2003)This paper presents a new active queue management scheme, fuzzy explicit marking (FEM), implemented within the differentiated services (Diffserv) framework to provide the congestion control using a fuzzy logic control ...

High-resolution, low-delay, and error-resilient medical ultrasound video communication using H.264/AVC over mobile WiMAX networks
(2013)In this study, we describe an effective video communication framework for the wireless transmission of H.264/AVC medical ultrasound video over mobile WiMAX networks. Medical ultrasound video is encoded using diagnostically ...

Information theoretic modeling and analysis for global interconnects with process variations
(2011)As the CMOS semiconductor technology enters nanometer regime, interconnect processes must be compatible with device roadmaps and meet manufacturing targets at the specified wafer size. The resulting ubiquitous process ...
